From the Commercial Advertiser of May 18 LATEST FROM ENGLAND. By the arrival of the ship Criterion, C'apt. Avery, in 30 days from London.we have received from our attentive Correspon¬ dent, Loudon papers to the 9th of April, and Lloyd's List of the 6th. In the houfe of Commons, on the 5th of April, Mr. Peel, presented a prelimina¬ ry rervrt from the committee appointed to enquire into the stare of the bank, which was read, and was in fubllance as follows : " The committee appointed to consider the stfic of the hank ate now engaged in delineating on their report, which they hope ij be able on an eaily day after the rcccf* 10 present to the houfe, and thev confid-ntly hope that they fhall then be able t- fix a period fbl the refumption of cafh pjymentsby the hank, and fuggelt a plan h* which this may be accomplimed with tifcty. But the comm;ttee arc of o- pinion that the plan which they have to propofc will be materially obftrucled if the • »ankiiould be diained of its treafure by continaing to pay their notes of an earlier day thin Jan 1,1817, and fracrional (urns under ;A in gold. They therefore lubmit to thecon»idcration of the houfe the expe¬ diency of passing forthwirh a Bil* to rc= train de bank from making such o..ym nt., till af— the report of th:» committee (hall be received, and some legislative tneafure be founded thereon." "Afier the rep ut wa« read, Mr. I eel ob¬ tained leave to bring in a bill 4* to restrain the Governor and Company of the Bank of England from making payment in cafti under certain notices given by them for that purpofc." On the 6th, it passed through all its sta¬ ges in both houfes, and fubfequently receiv¬ ed the Royal assent by commission. On the same evening, a bill was brought in for retraining the bank of Ireland from paying it* notes in calh undet 20/. which it had hitherto been in the practice of do¬ ing. It passed through all its stages im¬ mediately, and will, (says thcCourier)pass through the Houfe of Lorde, and receive the Royal assent forthwith. In the Houfe of Lords on the 6th of April, the Marquis of Laudsdownc faid, that it was his imention on a future day to mnve an addrefs Tor information refpect- ing any 'communication which may have passed between the Prince Regent's Gov¬ ernment and the United States of Ameri¬ ca, relating to the cession of the Floridas. A London paper says that Eu¬ gene Beauharnois, has recently been at Paris, and was introdu¬ ced, inc&g9 to Louis XVIII. The Emperor Alexander has sanctioned the establishment of a University at Petcrsburgh. Ferdinand, it is reported, has refused to fulfil so much of the will of his late father as ordered the payment of his debts. The German papers state, that Count Humboldt is preparing the details of anew representa¬ tive constitution for Prussia. The Morning Herald of April 6th says, that a report is in cir¬ culation, that Mr. Vansutan is p; eparing to resign his ofhre, and that he will be succeeded by Mr. Pee!. The ships rlccla and Gripa, were to sail on the 14th of April, from Dcptford, on a voyage of discovery to the Arctic Circle.

Mr. C Hutchenfon, gave notice that on the 7th of May he mould offer a refolution for the repeal of the \lien Act. Some alterations have been made at Ca¬ diz in the deftination of the armament.— Three ships of the line, and three frigates were to leave Cadiz for the Pacific Ocean the early part of April, with as many troops as they could accommodate. Four thou- fand troops were to fail in tranfports, ear ly in .May. The great expedition would not be ready for fea until August or Sep tember. Fiom the '"ourier of the 7th of April we have copied a statement of the Britifh Revenue up to the 5th -»f April, from which it appear* that the total increafc for the laft year is 2,963,115/. Two expeditions arc fitting in France— one for China, and one for Africa.

[From an interetling nuort, entitled " Faff- illustrative oj the Treatment of Napchon Bonabarte in St. Helena." On landing at James Town, the pros¬ pect IB pleafingly changed, and prefents to the eye a remarkably neat, well-built, though small town. Proceeding into the country, by either Side Path or Ladder Hill, the strainjeris completely surprifed, after travelling three miles, to find himfelfat the height of 12 or 1400 feetabuvC the level of the fca, in a moft luxuriantly fertile country. Fo; miles on every side the eye rest* on vallics of the most beautiful verdure, thief;Iy ftulded with highly cultivated farms;— the road from Plantation House to Sand} Bay, one of the molt lovely and romantic fpots in the world, wind* through Euro¬ pean hedges of haw-thoin and black ber¬ ry bushee.and at Kafun's Gate bn'ngj th:- traveller to a view almoll unequalled for boldness of scenery, richness of foliage, verdure and cultivation ; (o ftrong a con¬ trail of country, and fo varied an assem¬ blage of objects, arc rarely if ever concen¬ trated, as in the profpect from the hilt a bove Mr. Doveton's villa, at Sandy Bay. The whole of the country, from tlW fpot round to Reck Kofc f Eillv where a ro¬ mantic cottage belonging to the wiJow of captain Barnes, offers its h.tfpitahle shelter to the weary traveller, is literally f.iperb, and the fine ^old view llretchiug to Prof- pereus Bay, is beautifully COUtraftcd with the verdant eweetnefs of Arno's vale, and the cloud topped wood on the ftimmic of Diana's Peak ; hence gaining the road to Hunt's Gate, and passing along the range of country.by the road made expressly for Bonaparte, the eye is gratified with an en¬ tirely new and lovely pro:pect. the houfe and grounds of Mil's Mafon. Row Cot¬ tage with its shady ponds and drooping willows, and Prospecl iljll, 00 its n«ng terrace, enliven the deep vale round which the way leads.—Turning on the right to¬ wards Longwood, an entirely dilferens face of country prefents itfttf, and the bol*l ravine, known by the name of the Devil's Punch Bowl, (or as General Gourgaiul ufed to call it, ■•/& DtvWs h:.l of punch,") torms a grand and decided opposition to the verdant Race Couileand Campground of Dedwood, and the lark and Planta¬ tions of Longwood houfe, which Hands ill a commanding situation, on the right hand of the road, from which it is distant a- bout a quartes of a mile. Returning towards Town, a cottage near the Alarm Houfe. belimoinj* to Si- Thomas Rcade, racos me t)c . jCbtS post is the boundary of Bonaparte's fides unat¬ tended, on this side of the island!) good taste and great attention, are fast rendering this once barren spot richly fertile, and it fooa promifes to vie in luxuriance with \hr residence of Mr. Brook the Chief Secreta¬ ry, which is placed on the other side ot the hill. From this soot looking towards Plantation House, the eye navcrses anoth¬ er tract ofhighly cultivated country, and the villas of Sir GcorgeBingham.Mr. Dcs- fontaine, and others,diversify the view with the different colored foliages in which they are half buried. Plantation Honae is a comfortable resi¬ dence, placed on an extensive lawn, and furrounded by a profusion of magnificent trees:—here the bamboo of India, the oak of England, and the pine of Norway flour¬ ish together, and form a novel and charm¬ ing embellishment for the retreat cf the Governor from the cares of businefs. In the course of a wandering life, I ne¬ ver saw so great a variety of objects com¬ bined, as are thrown together in Saint He¬ lena. The bold and imposing appeaiancc of High Knoll, rising from a calm and lovely valley, the rich foftnefs of the ver¬ dure, oppofed to the brown and barren rocks which skirt the shore, and here and there intrude themtelves on the flight ; the well Mocked farms mingled with patches of country evidently volcanic, and the mag¬ nificent extent of horizon which bounds almost every view, tender the Island «f Saint Helena, sofarfrom being an uncom¬ fortable or unpleafant residence, a retreat replete with interest and attraction. Un¬ der the government of Sir Hudfon Lowe every spot, where cultivation can br intro¬ duced, is growing into utility; and taken altogether there can be no hesitation in pronouncing the colony to be (o rapidly improving, that in a few years, under the fame fystem of encouragement, it may be independent of any foreign : id for fuppli'ea of grain; at leatl it is fair to imagine so, judging from what has been done al¬ ready, and what is actually doing: should this be achieved, no power on earth could subdue the poiTcfTers of Saint Helena.
